For those who missed the supermoon on Saturday night, the moon will appear almost as large on Sunday night. Three more supermoons will grace the sky this year.


The supermoon shone over Australia on Saturday night, appearing bigger and bolder than usual as it approached the Earth at the closest point of its elliptical orbit.


Perry Vlahos from the Astronomical Society of Victoria said people should find an east-facing spot to best view the moon after it rises at 6.20pm.
